First Timers
1 CHECKLIST: Read your training manual and other books for divers (like mine!). Make a personal checklist of things, in terms of safety, service and environmental awareness, which you would want a dive operator to offer.
2 SAFETY: Is emergency oxygen always immediately available? Do guides have a safety role or are they only spotters?
3 SERVICE: Is there a covered area on the boat? Is drinking water provided?
4 ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS: Does the operator have a “no touch” policy? Does it reduce use of plastic to a minimum?
